Hello everyone! Hope you've started a great Monday ka.
I just listened to one of my favorite podcast programs, 'How Leaders Lead with David Novak', on air since November 30, 2023. It was so interesting that I had to tune in again to jot down some key points ka.
It was an interview with Mark King, CEO of Taco Bell who is retiring at the end of this year ka. Earlier on, he was from the golf and footwear industries.
Let me share some of the things I like ka:
- His passion about Taco Bell is really something ka. At one point, he shaved the Taco Bell logo into the side of his head (stayed with him for months to show he was really 'in' ka!) at a Taco Bell Annual Convention. He said 'if you don't really love the brand, it's hard to lead the brand.'
Not in the Thai context to shave the logo like him? Possible to see it some time?
- The biggest challenge for him in the food industry is complacency. It occurs when we work on the products that are seen successful for many years so people could simply do what they're doing. In addition, the workforce must be emotionally attached
Are we complacent or emotionally attached to our work ka?
- Chase for something extraordinary with big aspirations as we can't possibly go for incremental growth to be on the status quo.
I couldn't help thinking of our universities when talking about the speedy world changes. Yet, it doesn't seem we get it seriously and run faster enough mai ka?
- Disrupt one's own self before somebody will come in to do it faster and better. His story was to produce white golf drivers when golfers only used to have black!
Daring not to follow the industry norms (after asking around before making the decision) kaa!
- Unlocking the potential of the people is what great leaders do.
Again, how far can our university leaders take this up ka?
Let me stop here before it's too long ka.
